I don't know your father and if he is capable of change and understanding but my therapist told me that it's a waste of time and energy trying to explain toxic unhealthy people what they did or do wrong. They'll never see things the way they are. I gave up long time ago. Good for you for not giving up

I disagree with that therapist...this is called a letter of "restorative justice"--restorative justice says....this is what you did, this is how it made me feel. I believe it is empowering to speak up for ourselves. it isn't about the abuser, but about the person abused. My therapist was the one who gave me the term...restorative justice.
